SLA&SLS

What is SLA ?

Sales of AN prototype all get at least half a year\\\'s training and practice;Engineers is very professional and have extensive experience which can ensure that the technical communication is fluent with you.Usually our manufacturing period is 3 to 7 days.

AN-PROTOTYPE adopt SLA(stereolithography)technology(it is a kind of 3D rapid prototype process
which is mature ,deepened
studyand widely used in the world )which
control laser beam by computer to scan the surface ofprototype made from photosensitive resin
(ABS/transparent) point by point. Thin layer of resin (about 0.1 mm)scanned
will generate light polymerization then curing andbecome a thin layer of prototype.Move down
the workbench to a thin layer which is with same thickness so thatthe surface of the resin which is well
solidified can lay another layer of liquid to go on the scanning of next
layer,repeating this process until the prototype finished. SLA laser printing
is suitable for prototype whose structure is complicated and requirement for workmanship isexquisite, it can also
process much details quickly which is out of CNC\\\'s reach thus reducing the
workload greatly.

Advantage of SLA

(1)Spot diameter of ultraviolet laser < 0.15 mm by focusing;

(2) High precision of molding, exquisite structure is available (such as
ring and artware );

Service process

AN -
PROTOTYPEis equipped with laser molding
equipment from American 3D SYSTEM,RenShape SL series of photosensitive resinseries from American HUNTSMAN
and professional engineers which can guarantee you with high standard SLA
prototyp.

Advantage of SLS

1,The performance of plastic parts and
plastic injection partsis the same and
can be used as products directly.

2, SLS powder sintering molding process
is with high speed which can up to 14 mm per hour.

3, There is no support structure and
powder materials can be recycled which can save costs as well as
environmentally friendly .

Analysis of SLS ?

According to the statistical analysis,
the latest F - 35 Lightening II aircraft has 1600 parts made of SLS process
quickly . EADS, parent company of Airbus,has already began to study 3D printing
technology to make aircraft, as it can
not only reduce cost, but also make every part light about 65% compared with
traditional manufacturing method .
